Thank you for your review. In 2012, we were there to service the Starite heater. As your email indicates, the issue was identified quickly and the charge was reasonable. In April 2021, we serviced the pool heater again and as your email to us states, the technician was on time, identified the problem AND had all three parts on the service vehicle. Prior to installing the parts, the technician did advise you on the price and you gave your approval to proceed with the repair. In your email communication you say you checked the Pentair site for the list price but their site doesn’t list any prices. Also, unless you have an account with the distributors, you can’t see list prices on their sites either. In reality, you had to price check at the retail level. All three parts are not readily available for under $250. Actually, all three parts are special order. Two of those items have expected shipping dates between 10 to 16 weeks due to distribution issues happening in the industry. Gas Fix had the parts on the service vehicle and was able to take care of your heater on the same day. Other contractors can't because they don't invest in parts or carry parts on their service vehicle as the GM explained to you. At Gas Fix, we strive to provide quality service and care to all our clients. Unfortunately, there are circumstances where no matter how hard we try, it becomes clear that this is not possible. Gas Fix provides a quality service and when our technicians are on a service call, they have over 300+ of the most common parts on their vehicle. When you want cheap service, please, call our competitor. All the best to you and your family and we hope you get lots of enjoyment out of your pool this season.
Thank you Bruce for your review and for choosing Gas Fix to service your Napoleon fireplace. Other contractors will tell you that you cannot repair your fireplace as the parts are not available and they will try to sell you a new one. That's usually because they don't know how to fix your fireplace or carry the parts on their service vehicle. At Gas Fix, our technicians have over 300+ of the most common parts on the vehicle and that would include the gas valve and pilot assembly to complete a mercury flame switch conversion. Though it can be an expensive repair, it's an option that many people don't know about and it's much more economical than replacing the unit. Thank you again for choosing Gas Fix. We appreciate your business. ~ Jason, Office Administrator
Thank you Rob & Janie for contacting Gas Fix to have Dwayne service your gas fireplace. We normally don't go to London so it does help being related to the office administrator to make arrangements especially easy for you. As soon as I saw the make and model of the gas fireplace, I knew exactly what was required to get the unit working again. As the mercury flame switch failed, you needed to upgrade the unit with a new gas valve and a new pilot assembly. We had both parts on the service vehicle. Thank you again for your review and supporting family in Hamilton. ~ Jason, Office Administrator
